Artist
ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN
![]()
Hiding under the name of Electric Frankenstein was
Paolo Tofani, guitarist extraordinaire with Area and
60's groups Noi Tre and Califfi before them.
With this name he released a solo album in 1975, on Cramps label, that's more a
guitar extravaganza than a serious album.
With long spacey guitar solos by Tofani and all the instruments played by himself, the album will appeal to acid-psych lovers rather than prog fans. Mostly instrumental with vocal parts in english, the album contained some reworkings of his previous works with I Califfi and also had two tracks released as a single.
Tofani also released another solo album in 1977, Indicazioni, also on Cramps, before entering a Hare Krishna community. With another Krishna devotee Claudio Rocchi, he has released an album in 1980, Un gusto superiore, on the Iskcon label.

Rather common until mid 90's, Electric Frankenstein album
has recently become expensive and less easy to find.
It has a single cover and two different issues of the Cramps LP exist, with
different numbers, see above for details.
No counterfeits exist, nor foreign issues.
